Bill focuses on Highway 11 and Highway 17 safety

A private member’s bill to improve safety on Highway 11 and the Trans-Canada, Highway 17, has received second reading in Queen’s Park.

Bill 49 was first introduced by NDP MPP Guy Bourgouin in 2019, just before the pandemic hit and died at committee level.

He reintroduced it last week adding it will now go to committee for review once again

Bourgouin says if the legislation makes it through committee and reaches third reading, it will mean reclassifying the two highways the same as the 400-series of highways, which has strict snow removal requirements.
